More about this scene
The church hall, in Rectory Road, was much more central to Pitsea than the medieval church, perched on its hilltop site. The church halls of Basildon played a major role in providing activities for the swelling population. A new church, St Gabriel's, opened in Rectory Road in the 1960s.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I can confirm that the Cubs met here circa 1955.
I got married at St Michaels (first time) on September 19th 1970, was married for 24 years then divorced. Everybody I knew got married in that lovely old church. Pitsea was lovely in the "good old days", I remember going to the Saturday market and it took practically all day because everybody knew everybody else and you always stopped and had a natter! Does anybody remember Arm and Taylors factory where I worked ...see more
The church hall was used by all the groups, Brownies, Guides. Cubs and Scouts and a host of other things as well. Tombola, bring and buy and I believe the ladies used it for meetings as did the Sunday school. The church hall was probably used every day of the week for some reason or other. I have many good memories of it, thanks for bringing the flooding back.
